24:11 Look, my
father,
and see the
edge of your
robe in my
hand!
When I
cut off the
edge of your
robe, I
didn’t kill you. So
realize and
understand that I am
not planning evil or
rebellion. Even though I have
not sinned against you,
you are
waiting in ambush to
take my
life.
12 May the
Lord judge between the two of us, and may the
Lord vindicate me
over you, but my
hand will
not be against you.
13 It’s like the
old proverb says: ‘From
evil people evil proceeds.’ But my
hand will
not be against you.
14 Who has the
king of
Israel come out after?
Who is it that
you are
pursuing? A
dead dog? A
single flea?
